Playing with Sierra

Sierra is our 10-year-old neighbor.  Whenever Jonny sees her outside, he calls across the fence to her.  Often, they will talk and play through the fence and Sierra will give Jonny rocks and feathers or will bring her animals over to the fence for Jonny to pet (goats, sheep, roosters...).  Lately, Jonny has started asking for Sierra to come over to play.  They'll play in the sandbox, jump on the trampoline, play in the pool or pick strawberries.  Sierra is really cute with Jonny.  They wanted to play a couple of days before Father's Day but it was too late so we told Sierra she could come over when all of Jonny's cousins came on Sunday.  When she came through the gate, Jonny ran right over and grabbed her hand and took her around to introduce her to everyone.  He said, "This is my beautiful friend Sierra."  Of course everyone laughed and I think Sierra was a little embarrassed, but Jonny was completely serious!

Father's Day 2013

We had a good Father's Day!  We went to church and then when we got home, everyone from Chris's side of the family came over for dinner.  Jonny had a great time playing with all of his cousins.

Jonny and I gave Chris a cook stove for Father's Day.  Jonny didn't spill the beans about the present because I didn't tell him what it was for.  (Chris made the mistake of telling Jonny about my Mother's Day present so Jonny told me what it was as soon as he saw me!)  The box was so heavy that I could barely get it into the house so I dragged it into the spare bedroom and covered it with a blanket.

Dentist Visit

Jonny had his second dentist appointment last week.  It went way better than the visit back in December!  At that visit, he only let them take pictures of his teeth and polish two teeth.  AND they had to do all of that while he was sitting up because he wouldn't lean back against the chair!  This time, he let them examine his teeth, use the mirror, take x-rays, and polish all of his teeth.  They said that most 4-year-olds don't let them do that much.  They told him he was brave.  (The funny thing about that is that he thought that they were telling him he was the girl from the Disney movie Brave!)
